BEAUTIFUL RESTORED TRULLI IN PUGLIA, ITALY

A traditional dry stone hut
with a conical roof. This style of construction is specific to the Itria
Valley, in the Murge area of the Italian region of Puglia.
Trulli (plural) were generally constructed as temporary field shelters
and storehouses or as permanent dwellings by small proprietors or
agricultural laborers. This house is beautifully restored by Azzurra Garzone Architects.
Only traditional materials such as stone and lime have been used. Also
the interior is in line with traditions.The walls are whitewashed in
lime, and the flooring is made from chianche stone from the area. The
furniture comes from a careful selection of local craftsmen. The
bathrooms are coated with a mixture of cement and natural pigments,
derived from the surrounding earth.
